Rongwang's Mansion, a moonlit night.

Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, the moonlight was as cool as water. The round moon and the missing heart, Zhu Xishi couldn't help but cry when he looked at it.

There are some hardships that we can't bear but have to bear.

A dispute ends in nothing, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Zhu Xishi sat there motionless like a snail carrying a heavy shell, just quietly listening to the deepest voice in his heart, naively expecting it to give him an answer.

How can you find the answer to the firmness that you don't have in your heart? Zhu Xishi never dared to imagine that one of his thoughts was related to the lives of so many people. If he insists on his so-called justice, it will inevitably set off a bloody storm, not only Luo Zhiqiu's family of three will inevitably die, but the hundreds of innocent members of the Luo family behind him will also be implicated because of this; But if she compromises for this matter, then how can she be worthy of the wronged Aunt Shen and the poor apprentice Shen Fulu?

There is no such thing as the best of both worlds, only misfortune does not go alone. A wrong choice will lead to more unfortunate things happening, the heart is like an onion peeling layer by layer, and the pain is straightforward, reminding Zhu Xi to be cautious and cautious.

Just when her heart was fragile, the appropriate gentleness came unexpectedly, a pair of strong arms went around her thin back, tightly locked Zhu Xishi in her arms, Zhao Zhenyuan's forehead was tightly pressed against her neck, and she said softly.

"Xi Shi, just for a while, just for a while."

Probably because of sympathy, Zhu Xishi did not object to Zhao Zhenyuan's outrageous intimate behavior. He held her, and she supported him. The hedgehog, who wants to keep each other warm, endures the sting in his heart, looking for support in this quiet night.

Gentleness is too stinging. Invisibly, the tears in Zhu Xishi's eyes couldn't help but flow down again. Why do they make such a difficult choice? The palm of the hand and the back of the hand, no matter which side you hurt, it hurts.

In a trance, the hour asked in a daze.

"Zhao Zhenyuan, what should we do?"

Choosing to forgive means covering up and conniving, but the conscience has to bear the anxiety of a lifetime, and sometimes right and wrong can be clearly explained. It is often not possible to summarize right or wrong in one word. It's about the trade-offs of the moment; They all knew in their hearts that they would no longer be able to withstand any storms and casualties in this eventful season.

"I don't know. A bunch of contradictions in my heart are tormenting myself back and forth, and I can't think clearly. ”

The bright moon is bright, not brightening my heart, the smile in the bright moonlight. It's so desolate. Such melancholy.

"Fulu, that kid, I really don't have the face to face him."

"Entering the palace today, the imperial brother has already issued a secret decree to me, Shen Fulu must leave Lin'an City within three days, otherwise he will be killed."

The heart was already hanging by a thread, and the emperor's secret decree was undoubtedly worse, making Zhu Xishi's heart as cold as ice.

"What's the difference between this and exile?! Fu Lu is just a child, why did the emperor coerce him here? ”

"This is already the most merciful tolerance of the imperial brother. If it weren't for the relief of worries, he would threaten death in front of the royal brother. I'm afraid that Brother Fulu's life may not be saved. Xi Shi, I know that your little brother Fulu has been wronged. But staying in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, it is a great luck to be able to save his life.

Tears rolled down without end. Zhu Xishi understood the seriousness of Zhao Zhenyuan's words, and sat still without arguing, his body trembling more and more uncontrollable.

"In the end, we still choose to be sorry for Fu Lu and Aunt Shen, who died unjustly, the accomplice and the real murderer are of the same nature, and they hurt people."

"I know that you feel guilty in your heart, why am I not as miserable as you? One is the royal brother who has loved me since I was a child, and the other is the eldest brother of the opposite sex who has been my companion for many years. In the past, it was the royal brother who was sorry for the eldest brother, but now the eldest brother is sorry for the imperial brother, who is more outrageous but I am an outsider to judge, I don't want to be sorry for anyone and I don't want to lose, but I can't help my will, I must submit to the form. ”

Carefully turning Zhu Xishi around, Zhao Zhenyuan patiently circled his fingers to wipe the tears from her face, and said softly.

"From the moment you and I left the 'Natural Residence', we have actually chosen to shield Luo Zhiqiu and Yu Niang, but our hearts don't dare to face it squarely. No matter which side you choose, the result will be more or less cruel, and what we have to do is how to minimize the damage and minimize it. If you understand this, your heart should feel better. ”

Silently closed his eyes, and two lines of tears spread on his pale face again, but he had no choice but to submit.

"It is imperative that we plan for Brother Fulu where he goes, and do as much as we can for him, so that we will feel less guilty about him."

"The world is big, where can he go if a child is burdened with such a big crime? Do you want him to live the life of begging on the streets and not having enough to eat?"

Thinking of Shen Fulu's future, Zhu Xishi was even more worried, who would dare to risk losing his head to take in a criminal ordered by the imperial court? The whole world is not the king's land, who dares to openly oppose the emperor like this, when she thinks of Shen Fulu's slim future, she, the teacher, is also sad.

"The night is long, and the dreams are too fearful. I will discuss with my second brother early tomorrow morning to see if I can dredge the lower household department to guide the little brother Fulu to fake the official government; After all, three days later, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs will arrest him, and the name of Shen Fulu will be noticed by the whole world, and his situation will be even more difficult; It is better to change your face and start a new life with a new identity than to live a life where everyone shouts and beats you when you cross the street. And you also have to cheer up, after all, you are the master of Brother Fulu, and it is your responsibility to enlighten him to let go of the heart knot. ”

"I really don't have the confidence to face that kid, Zhao Zhenyuan, it's so difficult"

Shaking her head, Zhu Xishi was completely in pain, and she didn't have the courage to persuade the disheartened Shen Fulu. He is right, but he has to live on a trumped-up charge, how can people not worry about their hearts?

"Difficulties also have to be faced, if you can't help Brother Fulu overcome this hurdle, the result can be imagined. Xi Shi, after the wind and rain, when you meet the sun, there will always be a day when the water will come out, and these hardships suffered by Fu Lu will not be in vain. And you, as an elder, must let him understand the importance of a strong mind, and grow up with self-improvement in strength, so that he can survive until the day when Aunt Shen is wronged. ”

"Will it be, will there be such a day?"

In a trance, Zhu Xishi asked Zhao Zhenyuan in disbelief, and his tone seemed so confused.

"Yes, the cycle of cause and effect will be corrected, and it will definitely be like this one day."

Embracing Zhu Xishi into his arms again, Zhao Zhenyuan seriously assured Zhu Xishi that he hoped that the woman in his arms could regain her old courage and face the ups and downs of the road ahead with him. (To be continued......)
